The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A semainier is a traditional French tall chest of drawers featuring seven distinct drawers, historically designed to hold a weeks worth of linen or clothing, with one drawer allocated for each day.

French semainiers from the turn of the twentieth century were typically constructed using fine hardwoods such as mahogany or walnut, frequently featuring brass mounts, keyhole escutcheons, and hand-dovetailed drawer joints.

Authentic period pieces exhibit characteristic construction details including hand-cut dovetail joinery, original brass hardware, seven uniform or graduated drawers, and natural signs of timber maturation.

A tall semainier functions as a vertical focal point in a bedroom, dressing room, or hallway, harmonising well with modern neutral palettes while providing compact storage.

Keep the timber away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent shrinkage or colour loss, and apply a high-quality beeswax polish periodically following the grain.
